Essential oils are administered in various ways, such as through massage therapy or application to an affected area; by inhalation (dab a few drops onto a handkerchief or add to hot water and breathe it in); in the bath; and in diffusers, which disperse the scent into the air.

These potent oils are very concentrated and should never be applied at full strength directly to skin.

Dilute two to three drops in a tablespoon of almond oil first.

They never should be taken internally, or in greater quantities than recommended.

Consult a doctor before using essential oils.

You'll find essential oils at shops that specialize in herbs and at some health-food stores.

Don't confuse essential oils with products labeled "fragrance oil" or "craft oil," which usually are synthetic.

A good shop also can be an excellent source of information on essential oils.

There are many books on using plants for natural healing.

Reygadas freely admits to having little interest in conventional narrative, which explains why he'd pan away from an explicit love scene between a fat Mexican chauffeur named Marcos (Marcos Hernandez) and his equally flabby wife (Bertha Ruiz) with a 360-degree survey of their Mexico City environs.

Movie review Showtimes and trailer "Battle in Heaven," with Marcos Hernandez, Anapola Mushkadiz, Bertha Ruiz.

Written and directed by Carlos Reygadas.

94 minutes.

Not rated; contains explicit sex, nudity, language.

In Spanish with English subtitles.

Grand Illusion.

It's the kind of Godardian ploy that invites art-house denizens to rhapsodize about "neo-surrealism" in an effort to describe unconventional techniques.

(Reygadas has also been arbitrarily compared to directors Andrei Tarkovsky and Abbas Kiarostami.) Marcos and his wife have kidnapped an infant for ransom, and the child has died in their custody.

Racked with guilt, Marcos confesses to Ana (Anapola Mushkadiz), the young, attractive daughter of the general Marcos drives for.
